Re: Hawaii Superferry - Chapter 7
Disagree. Neither do YB ships use airports in their commerce.
But YB and the airlines are both transportation systems between islands that require massive infrastructure owned, improved and operated by the state just in order to exist. They pay rent and fees, of course, for use of those facilities. And those facilities get upgraded and expanded from time to time.
Just like SuperFerry.
SuperFerry is just another inter-island transport service. It is no different than the others described. It is paying "rent" for the facilities that the state improved to accommodate it. In fact, they intended to pay it all back! It was only a LOAN! What a concept! WE GET TO KEEP THE FACILITIES AFTER THEY'RE PAID FOR BY THE SUPERFERRY!
But HSF is being held to a higher standard than any of the others who hold entrenched positions in local transport. The only difference is that Hawaii SuperFerry is not yet "entrenched."
